Mark and List,

eRichie and Wayne Davidson also have these hubs. My hub (front only) is not marked with "Record," nor with the world logo; it bears only the script "Campagnolo" and below that the "S-U." I don't know what model the hub is, but it's clearly more recent as it has the curved QR lever, etc. It's NOS and 36H and it would be for sale if I knew what to ask for it. I was hoping to find out a bit more based on the mark.

Did either of the people who have hubs so marked say what model/year their hubs were? I've never seen such a marking on old Record (NR) hubs. Kerrigan said it was stamped below the script logo - by "script logo" I assume you mean the World logo with script Campagnolo running through it? And Where exactly - right under the script but still within the World, or between the World and the block-lettering "Record" that's normally just below the World? Or are these hubs old enough to not say Record below the World logo ('58-'62)?

Since all old Record hubs used 7/32" balls, there would be no logical reason to mark a few of them to indicate so.
